Chapter 151 Leader and Leader 04
However, this is not important, Xiao Shenzhi said calmly, "This is about me and Xi'er, it has nothing to do with you."
Xiwu found it very interesting to see the change in the eyes of the leader Xiao, and didn't want to continue to embarrass him, "Since Xi'er is willing to let you follow, I won't say much, just warn you not to think about other things. But then I'm afraid Leader Xiao is not suitable for the conversation, please sit in the front hall for a while."
The shopkeeper waiting at the side raised his hand and made a gesture of 'please' to Xiao Shenzhi.
Xiao Shenzhi glanced at Lin Xi before turning around, but the other party turned his back and didn't look at him, and followed the shopkeeper to the front hall with some disappointment.
After everyone else had left, Qi Wu held Lin Xi's shoulders and sat under the medicinal vine trellis in the yard.He stroked his sleeves a little, held the slender wrist, and began to feel his pulse. After a while, he nodded in satisfaction, "Although your mood is not stable, your body is fine. It can be seen that you don't care about that leader Xiao. Not as disgusting as it appears."
Lin Xi frowned calmly, "In the past two months, I have taken the medicine according to brother Xiwu's instructions, that's all."
Xiwu was a little helpless, "When my father allowed you to practice this mental method, he said that it is easy to go crazy when you have emotional ups and downs. What happened six years ago has always been in your heart, how can I not know? If you are so If you hate him, you won’t let him follow you all the way.”
"I..." Lin Xi paused for a moment, and said with force, "When he came to me, I was really happy for a moment. I was satisfied knowing that he was thinking about me all the time. Back then, I was just being self-indulgent. Now that I think about it, how can I blame him? But I really don't want to have anything to do with him now, I just came here for revenge, so how can I drag him into the water. "
Their identities and positions doomed them not to return to the innocent young bamboo horses they were back then.
Qi Wu thought back to Xiao Shenzhi's expression just now, that persistent gaze was not like the ordinary love of a bamboo horse.It was not the first time he had seen this martial arts leader. As early as three years ago at the martial arts conference, this outstanding young man had impressed him with admiration.
Xiao Shenzhi stood at the end with a long sword in his hand, his whole body majestic and awe-inspiring.There is always room for three points in the competition on the ring, his eyes are gentle and upright, and his slender figure is even more impressive.
In the past three years, he has resolved countless martial arts disputes, and his behavior is upright. Even some martial arts seniors have no choice but to trust him.
However, when I met him today, I felt that this President Xiao seemed a little different from what he remembered. Acting with his character, he should be quite shameless for such a personal vendetta and murder.However, today's words are all about Xi'er, he seems to put Lin Xi in front of his own principles and the martial arts alliance.
"Don't you think that Xiao Shenzhi treats you a little differently? He seems to be quite concerned about what happened back then. I thought he would take you back to give an explanation to Wulin, or at least persuade you to give up revenge."
Lin Xi raised her head in surprise, opened her lips as if she wanted to say something, but hesitated again.
It took him a while before he spoke again, "We had a quarrel about this just now, but he compromised in the end. He said he would not stop me from taking revenge, but he didn't allow me to hurt innocent people."
Qi Wu raised his eyebrows in surprise, "This seems to be his style. How can a person who can be the leader of the martial arts allow you to hurt innocent people. But the former compromised so easily, which really surprised me."
"Probably because of sympathy?" Lin Xi asked with some uncertainty. The relationship between them was indeed very deep, and it is impossible to ignore such a thing completely.
He couldn't think of any other reason besides sympathy.
Xiwu wanted to say that Xiao Shenzhi's eyes had nothing to do with sympathy at all, and if he easily changed his style just because of sympathy, then he would not be able to sit in the position of martial arts leader.
Looking at Qi Wu's expression, Lin Xi shook her head, "I used to think that he didn't just have love for me, but it's not like that. He is special to me, but I don't want this kind of special, Now I can't afford it anymore."
Xiwu stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, "Don't think too much, I'm still here, and Qifeng Valley will always be your home. And those congregants who depend on you to live, they are all waiting for you to go back .”
Probably thinking of Qifenggu and other members of Xuanyan Sect, Lin Xi finally showed a little smile, "I know."
Xiwu took out a porcelain bottle and put it in his hand, "This is the dose for this month. I have adjusted the prescription a little. If you feel any discomfort, please send me a letter immediately."
The two talked for a while before leaving the courtyard, and when they reached the front hall, Xiao Shenzhi got up and walked to him.
After walking out of the pharmacy, Lin Xi turned around and asked, "How many places do I have to go to check on the business, and Leader Xiao also wants to go with me?"
The Xuanyan Sect stopped doing murder business more than ten years ago, and he also took over the position of the leader by accident, learning to arrange things in the teaching and regularly take care of the business in various places.
"Of course." Xiao Shenzhi replied without thinking.
Lin Xi frowned, "Leader Xiao, is it really appropriate for you to be wandering outside for so long as the leader of the martial arts?"
"Xi'er is caring about me?" Xiao Shenzhi's smile was like a spring breeze, and the girls on the street couldn't help but look at him.Then he explained, "The affairs of the Wulin League are handled by other people. If there are difficult things, they will send a letter to me."
In just half a day, Xiao Shenzhi seemed to be a different person, he seemed to be more patient and gentle with him.But it made Lin Xi avoid the other party's sight uncomfortably, "I just don't want you to follow me all the time, or do you not believe that I don't hurt innocent people?"
Xiao Shenzhi didn't care about his small actions, and his tone was as gentle and pampering as ever, "It's not that I don't trust you, I just want to accompany you to finish the matter."
Lin Xi didn't reply but turned and left directly, followed by the people behind her.
They didn't talk much, Xiao Shenzhi knew that Lin Xi didn't want to bring up the events of the past, so most of the time he was talking about his own affairs, as if he wanted to fill in the gaps of these years.
Occasionally, when she heard the other party say that she cared about her own affairs very much, it was a lie in Lin Xi's heart to say that she was not moved.However, this moving expression will only stay in the heart, nothing more.
It took a day of riding a horse to reach another small town, and went directly to the local hall of the Xuanyan Sect.It was an elegant place, and the businesses of different places were different, some were engaged in commercial business, intelligence organization or even bodyguard agency.
Because the hall master sent him a letter to Feige, it seemed that something went wrong, so he decided to come for a walk.
When Jin Niang, the proprietress of Zuiyun Building, saw Lin Xi, she seemed to be seeing a savior. She walked up habitually and wanted to hold his hand, but felt a chill inexplicably, and looked around a few times. I also only saw a gentle and quiet man behind the leader.
Maybe just an illusion?
Jin Niang took them to the innermost room on the second floor, and looked back and forth between Lin Xi and Xiao Shenzhi. It seemed that it was the first time that the leader brought outsiders to the entrance of the hall.This showed to a certain extent that he trusted this man, but his attitude didn't look like he was very intimate.
After making tea and sitting down, Jin Niang said with a sad face, "Master, do you still remember that child named Xie Lianyi?"
"Remember." Lin Xi's tone was flat, and she could tell a trace of impatience when she listened carefully.
Jin Niang was also a little embarrassed, "I know you don't like him, but this time it's about him. After hearing about the revenge of the leader a few months ago, he became a little bit weird. Just a few days ago He knocked out the guards in the building and escaped from the Zuiyun Tower. I was a little worried that he would do something against the leader..."
Lin Xi thought for a while, and then asked, "Have the people in the building checked thoroughly?"
"I've checked. There are a few little girls who are gossips. I have already severely punished them."
Lin Xi looked serious, and her right hand habitually caressed the position of her left wrist.There used to be a string of agarwood beads there, but now it is empty, but I still touch it subconsciously when I think about it.
Xiao Shenzhi naturally knew that there used to be a string of agarwood beads at that location, which was a gift he gave Lin Xi on his birthday, and he never took it off until they parted.
But now...
After a long silence, Lin Xi said to Jinniang, "Close the Zuiyun Building first, and give some money to those buskers who have nothing to do with the religion. You take the others back to Qifeng Valley first, and after a while Make another plan."
Hearing this decision, Jin Niang was a little puzzled, and she even worried if she had done something wrong, "Why is this, Master?"
"I'm afraid the Zuiyun Building has been targeted long ago. I didn't tell the people in the sect why I left the Phoenix Valley. Why did I gossip? Who told them about this?"
Jin Niang seemed to realize the connection, after all, she just opened an elegant place to increase the income of the teacher.Besides, the Xuanyan Sect has been hidden from the world for many years, so how could they have thought that someone would have been following them?
I blamed myself for a while.
Lin Xi comforted her lightly, "This is just my guess. What should come will always come. You don't have to blame yourself. I will investigate the matter of Lianyi, so don't think too much about it."
